Summary
The Lisjan Nation, newly on the state consultation list, wants pre-construction access to check for ancestral sites on the Bear Creek South farmland, saying monitoring during excavation isn't enough. The city and applicants say a year of consultation occurred, the Northern Valley Yokuts support the plan, and CEQA doesn't require more review. Commissioners urged both sides to work together before the project reaches City Council.
